How do you have yours?
Poll incoming.
I put milk in mine. The box usually tells me to.
Phew, I only marginally fucked up the poll.
I always buy quite expensive hot chocolate (image below) and always do it in a pan using milk, no cream on top. Those instant ones using water are crap.

This stuff is amazing.
I don’t, because they’re all fucking rotten.Quote:

I only drink cold chocolate milk using Hershys chocolate syrup.
Hot chocolate goes on the list with Chocolate Milkshake and Chocolate Icecream.
It's shit, It doesn't taste like chocolate and nobody that doesn't have the menopause on their timeline should be drinking it.
:cool:Quote:

One of the machines at work does a legitimately nice hot chocolate, to be fair. Only that machine, though.
Presumably you make it for your kids occasionally.Quote:

I don't mind it but I can't remember the last time I had it. I'd rather just have a cup of tea and some actual chocolate.
My Mrs drinks the Options shite when she's on a diet. My daughter might - MIGHT - have had one. I'm unsure. She doesn't like chocolate milkshake, so I'm hopeful she's wired correctly. My boy hasn't tried it but does like Chocolate Icecream. He lives in the garden now.Quote:

When I make it for the kids it's milk in with the powder to make a paste, then hot water, and probably then more milk to make it drinkable for a child. SO either 2 or 3. Hot chocolate is shit.
None that I've tried. Perhaps the £20 per scoop 'Gelato' the sell in Rome is different. The stuff we get here is shite.Quote:

Milk only, obviously.
And an ice cream shop in St. Louis sold this vegan chocolate icecream made with coconut milk that might have halved my testosterone level, but it was absolutely incredible.
Get stung in a place outside the Vatican too per chance?Quote:

Because even better quality chocolate ice cream is still chocolate ice cream.Quote:

I include chocolate cake in this. Notably brownies. :sick:Quote:

Yeah, I'm not having Brownies included. There's a huge quality gulf with them. They can be dry and shite but they can also be soft, gooey and all sorts of amazing.
Hot chocolate is dope, especially if it's proper cold outside
Hot chocolate has its moments when it's just fantastic. All milk, of course.
